I have been to Morocco and I have seen the SAME as any country I have visited. You have your hard workers and you have your lazy in both men and women. Im sure some country places may seem even more lazy as the city may be much poorer with limited things to do for recreation other than sit in a cafe or browse the streets for bargains. It may seem like a vacation for the tourists and guests but these people MOROCCANS have to live this live day in and day out. PURE BOREDOM and TOO much time on hands. It doesn't make them lazy bums when their resources are limited.
Some of these cities have nothing but the flea market style shops. No cinemas, no sports-other than watching it on tv in a Coffee shop, Going to coffee with their friends and playing cards (playing for drinks/sodas/coffee) is all most these men have to do. Thousands apply for one position of work and you will be EASILY replaced without blinking twice. Guaranteed there are some cities that have internet shops that have men with one agenda on their mind -scamming- and there are some me who do seem to love their foreign wives/girlfriends. The men who do not hang out in cyber nets are the ones who may be worth having. This is if you are ok with a POOR man who likes to be in control. He will spend his time doing ordinary daily things, not hanging out all day on the computer. He will not have several social sites and he will have no problem deleting his social site if he cares. If you google his name his name should not have links to show he is a part of anything. Learn his character and watch for the little things. Was he ok to take the initiative to delete his sites without you asking? There are small things you can learn about a persons character even on the internet and the occassional visits to see him until the two of you can be together. There are still much to learn after you are married. Most women don't realize til its too late and they imagined their man to be FLAWLESS and these men are not without flaws. They want to be waited on like most men. They may share in some housework while they wait for new jobs, but it will not be permanent.

Being too pushy is only going to cause a lot of resentment and issues in the marriage. Most men that had true intentions from the beginning and married an older woman, leaves and in their eyes these women changed after marriage. These men are smart, don't treat them like kids or your sons (foreignors) because you are older. Izzyg, from Australia, calling Moroccans LAZY, reading between the lines, I am hearing you say you married a much younger man and you are ok with whatever he gives you and you realize he may not be sincere and you are already saying you do not trust in reasons you two are together, but you are willing to waste years to find out. It will be you who comes back here when it does not work out cause you had a trust factor along the way and this will only lead to a black heart and lost love and lots of communication problems in your marriage. You will come here like a scorn woman complaining like all others when you knew all along and you accepted it and you helped contribute to the matter yourself. If you married a lazy man, it doesn't give you the right to say all are lazy. i know hard working Moroccans and very professional Moroccans. Does Australians not have to sign an affidavit of support form as USA citizens do bringing a loved one home? I think if they did, women would not be so quick to just TAKE CHANCES on foreign men who they seem to have trust issues with but, regardless accept 'Whatever" may come and have such an easy attitude about it all..
